"Green" Travel

How many times have you read that a company was "Going Green" in the last couple years??
It has become a new trend, a wonderful new trend!
My husband and I are adopting some great Eco friendly habits and I would like to pass those along to you as well as some great ways to keep the environment in mind while traveling!

Personal ways to become "green" in your home.

*RECYCLE!!!! It is so easy there is really no excuse why everyone cannot recycle please pick up an extra trashcan and do your part!
*Walmart is now recycling your plastic bags, so after you go to the grocery take them out to your trunk and throw them in the box at the front of the store next time you go.
*Unplug your appliances when not in use. Did you know this can save up to 40% on your electric bill???? Lamps, coffee pot, hairdryer, blender, toaster, exercize equipment etc are some I unplugged.
*When its yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down!! Enough said.
*Take showers with your significant other! Kill two birds with one stone ; )
*Fluorescent light bulbs
*Use recycled paper in your printer
*Use a 5 gallon water dispenser instead of buying 5 gallons worth of plastic water bottles!! It is cheaper too!

Travel Tips

*Travel by train instead of car or plane
*Opt for bus, rail or ferry transportation
*Discover new places on FOOT! Yes! Get some exercise!!
*Rent an Eco friendly car...or better yet BUY one!
*Use your towels several times in hotels instead of getting new. Ask for your sheets not to be changed everyday.
